Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

First of all, capturing CO~2~ out of the air is incredibly inefficient compared to simply not emitting it in the first place. It should be only the last resort after we've completely ceased using all fossil fuels and found that it still isn't enough.
Second, I wonder how much greenhouse gas the manufacturing of this material emits?
I'll just stop breathing then
Eventually we'll reach diminishing returns on co2 emissions and start needing to remove it actively. This research will come in handy then.
Yep, currently industry needs to be cutting down a much emotion as possible, but DAC will probably still be needed in a couple decades, and research takes time so it's still good that it is happening now.
Yeah,and this one shows a lot of promise since it's passive. It doesn't solve the storage problem which is a shame, but combined with something like enhanced weathering, maybe.
